Hello, my name ist Natalie. I am 27 years old and currently living in the beautiful alps in Innsbruck, Austria.
I spend most of the time outdoors, whenever it is possible. I enjoy doing different kinds of sport in my free time. My favorite activities in summer are cycling (road bike and Mountainbike), running, hiking and swimming and in winter I love doing skitours, cross-country skiing oder just normal skiing (things you do when you live in between the mountains :D).
I'm also a dog lover, even though I never owned one, but every now and then I do dog sitting.
Also, I am vegetarian and like cooking fresh stuff and experiencing with new dishes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and exploring new cities, countries and cultures.
After having finished school, at the age of 18, I lived in South-africa for 6 months which was a unique experience. Also, I spent 10 months living in Monterrey, Mexico during my studies. There, I learned speaking Spanish and experienced so many hospitable people which was amazing.
I haven't been using couch surfing a lot, but I think it's a great platform to connect travelers with locals. Its great to get to know the culture of the country you are traveling in and furthermore, I like meeting new people and have chat with then in different languages ;)
This summer (2023), me and my boyfriend are planning a road bike trip from Innsbruck to Lisbon. We would love to stay at couch surfing hosts to get to know new people and different cultures but sometimes we would also like to sleep outdoors. :)
